Manila Bay 1898 The Battle That Changed History

On May 1, 1898, two eras collided in Manila Bay. Modern U.S. warships under Commodore George Dewey destroyed Spain’s outdated Pacific fleet within a single morning. Triggered by the explosion of the USS Maine, the Spanish-American War began as a moral cause but quickly became a geopolitical turning point. The victory at Manila marked the final collapse of Spain’s global empire and the rise of the United States as an overseas imperial power. This video explores how one short naval battle reshaped global power and signaled America’s entry onto the world stage.
